Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac

Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac is a long‑standing Quebec music festival and cultural organizer dedicated to showcasing Francophone song and contemporary music in the iconic village of Tadoussac on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River.

Founded over four decades ago, the festival now celebrates its **42nd edition in 2026**, confirming more than forty years of continuous activity and a strong reputation among artists and audiences from across Quebec and beyond. Each June it brings several thousand festival‑goers to Tadoussac, transforming the small heritage village into a dense network of indoor and outdoor stages, late‑night showcases and intimate concerts.

The organization’s core product is the annual multi‑day **Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac**, but its portfolio has expanded to include complementary programming such as **Les soirées d’été au Jardin**, a series of summer evening concerts held in the festival’s garden with six ticketed shows and one free event. The festival also runs professional and creative initiatives like **Chemins d’écriture**, a long‑running songwriting and residency program that supports emerging authors‑composers-interpreters and deepens industry connections.

Operating from its permanent office at 180, rue de l’Église in Tadoussac, the team manages ticketing, communications, logistics, technical production and artist programming in‑house, providing a reliable, well‑organized framework for artists, partners and service providers. Its value proposition lies in curated, discovery‑oriented lineups, a human‑scale environment, and the unique setting of Tadoussac—a destination already famous for nature and whale‑watching—offering exhibitors, sponsors and cultural partners high‑engagement visibility with a loyal, music‑focused audience.

With multiple branded stages (Hydro‑Québec, Québecor, Desjardins) and year‑round local presence, the Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac acts both as an event organizer and as a regional cultural engine for Quebec’s live music ecosystem.
